Ansible 0.9 is now available! This release features quite a lot of
new things, and a lot of refinements.
Compared with Ansible 0.8, you'll enjoy such new things as:
* an ansible-doc program for explaining how to use modules without
having to read the web docs
* various performance speedups and optimizations
* New modules:
* addhost, useful for provisioning use cases
* group_by, a powerful way to target systems as if they were
grouped by arbitrary properties
* ec2, it creates ec2 machines
* script, for pushing and executing scripts without installing them
* svr4pkg, for Solaris packages
As always, the full changelog is available here:

Release 1.0 starts now! Generally we have been doing monthly
releases, though this one took a bit longer. Given that core is
reasonably stable now, and most activity is around modules with many
many people following the active development branch, I suspect we may
be moving towards releases for the distros every two months.
